Even if I only like half od the music on it, it brings back great memories (Toad the Wet Sprocket, GWAR, that really old Refused song that Mark plays, etc...)

Yeah, Liquid Sky's soundtrack fits the title of the movie. Never heard anything similar. Cristal sounds. Margaret's Apartment's great.

Tarantino uses beautiful music. So does his former partner Roger Avary.

Rubber Biscuit by the Chips in Scorsese's Mean Streets.

Kubrick's use of music was wonderful.
"We'll meet again..." Dr Strangelove.

The late Robert Altman was kinda good too - Suicide is painless, in M.A.S.H.

Phantom of the Paradise.

Female Trouble.

In the Mood for Love's soundtrack.

The Graduate.

In Jerzy Skolimowski's Deep End (1970), a beautiful Can song is played all over the most beautiful scene of the picture.

In Mulholland Drive, this bubblegum pop song during the casting scene brings tears to my eyes; the music on the tall strong guy in Adam's house makes the scene quite quite funny.

Thurston's track on Bully. Suits the scene.

David Bowie's Modern Love in Mauvais sang - the scene everybody (who saw the film) recalls.

Viva Las Vegas. I recently saw this film again. The memory of Tara Reid at the wheel of car, all toes untouched, in the Big Lebowski, kinda distracted me.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Forbidden Planet!
1950s electronic music rules.

Phantom of the Paradise! Ha! Paul Williams!!!

!@#$%! 11.27.2006 03:36 PM

any kubrick movie has excellent music with the exception of that piece of shit known as "spartacus"-- but that's really a movie by that hack actor kirk douglas

lucyrulesok 11.27.2006 03:41 PM

I also quite like the Donnie Darko soundtrack.... but I don't think it works particularly well in the film itself.

Savage Clone 11.27.2006 03:42 PM

Suspiria.
Most Goblin soundtracks, really.

Bertrand 11.27.2006 04:45 PM

Yes, their score on the European version of Dawn of the Dead is spooky

Probably been said already, but all of Wes Anderson's movies have great soundtracks.
28 Days Later (maybe solely for Godspeed You! Black Emperor).
All Kubrick

Well, hope you will rethink about this after re-watching the party scene with love will tear us apart in the background, or the "finale" with gary jules' mad world....

Then perhaps you don't know anyone else who was also disappointed that the recently-issued "Music Of El Topo" LP is not actually the soundtrack to the film!
Arrgh. It's not bad, but not what I was looking for. I have an older friend who has the real thing from way back that he got for like 2 dollars!

Holy Mountain is excellent, it's true.

I honestly don't know, I got the movie for my friend that hosted the parties, but now found out that he already has it, so if my paycheques juicy today and brings me out of debt, I'm definately going to open it up.

There's 15 minutes of deleted scenes added to the movie, and another 16 minutes of stuff they said that couldn't even make the fan edition, so I'm anxious to see those. If you have the original VHS it shows pictures of the deleted scenes at the back that are never in the movie. I'll let you know about it when I see it!
